Safe to Get Mini Tummy Tuck, Liposuction, and Butt Implants at Once?

I do all the procedures that you are thinking about. I do NOT recommend getting a tummy tuck (mini or regular) and buttock implants (or buttock fat injections) at the same time. You have to think about your recovery. You need to rest on your back with your midsection flexed to protect you tummy tuck. You need to stay off of your bottom to protect the implants as they heal. It is not possible to do both.

Yes, with several caveats. As a rule, try to get an anesthesiologist who is familiar and proficient with IV sedation. The risks of general anesthesia go up with the length of the procedure. As for the buttock implant, I'm not a big fan. I have done fat grafts to the buttocks for 5 years without any complications except for a small infection in one patient at the abdominal liposuction site. As for butt implants, I have fat grafted a patient around the edges of the implant to disguise its... more

The key issue here will be the advice and experience of your surgeon. Discuss your surgeons approach. Typically they will advise you to lie side-to-side fetal position and getting out of bed on your hands and knees.

The combination of liposuction, Butt implant and mni tummy tuck is safe to combine provided you are in top health and your surgeon is an Experienced Plastic Surgeo , done in an Accredited facility. if you have enough fat and excess tummy what not use that fat to enhance your buttock. it is a much better results and more natural and will not need a maintainance as the implants do

Performing multiple surgeries at the same time is quite safe nowadays. Most people are concerned about the anesthesia but the medicines we use are very safe. If you think about it we often keep critically ill patients under anesthesia for days on end without untoward effects. So even though many surgeons don't go past 8 hours, I think it's safe as long as the appropriate precautions are make in terms of preventing pressure ulcers and blood clots. The next issue is the liposuction. The... more

Dear Tiff, you ask a very important question. Procedures can be combined safely. The type of procedure may preclude the combination but your doctor will know best. It is important to be able to mobilize/move after your surgery so that you do not develop stiffness, prolonged discomfort and increase the risk of blood clots if you are immobile. You can have either a general anesthetic or a sedation-both are very safe. With Warm Regards, Trevor M Born MD

Doing all those procedure is reasonable and post operative recovery should not be too bad, but again everyone is different. As far as butt implants go, I dont do them and dont recommend them as the complication rate is very high. I do buttock augmentation with fat transfer. This is basically termed brazilian butt lift. Liposuction is performed to contour your body and buttock area and then the fat is transfered to the gluteal region. That is what I would recommend. Good luck.... more

Hi! I don't do butt implants; there are too many problems.  You are better off with butt augmentation using your own fat. You want liposuction anyway, so that's how the fat is harvested. It's ok to do the procedures together.

I am not a big fan of the butt implants that are available in the US. They are too hard and not as soft and natural like the ones available outside the US.  But, if you decide to have all 3 procedures at once, it is probably OK as long as you are healthy and the surgical time is not too long.

I wouldn't recommend doing surgery on the front (tummy tuck) and the back (buttock implants) at the same time. The recuperation from either one will be diametrically different from the other. For example, I ask tummy tuck patients to stand, walk, and sleep with a 45-degree bend at the waist. Those patients must sleep in a La-Z-Boy chair or with pillows to prop themselves up. On the other hand, I require buttock implant patients to avoid sitting at all for 2 weeks! Buttock implant... more
